Jones Takes Over Boston's Mix & Oldies

Jay Beau Jones' destination is now revealed: He's the newly anointed PD of CBS Radio/Boston's hot AC WBMX (Mix 98.5) and oldies WODS (Oldies 103.3). Last week, Jones left the OM/PD chair just down the Mass Pike at Citadel/Worcester, Mass., after five years, where he ran hot AC WXLO, classic hits WWFX (the Pike) and oldies WORC-FM. Jones replaces Oldies 103.3 PD Pete Falconi and Mix PD Jerry McKenna, who have both left the building. (from R&R)

Geffner leaves Sox for Marlins

Red Sox radio broadcaster Glenn Geffner is leaving the 2007 WorldChampions to become the number two radio announcer for the Florida Marlins. Geffner, a Florida native who was brought aboard by Sox bigwig Larry Lucchino,has drawn criticism from listeners and such blogs as 38cliches.com for various reasons (among themtalking too fast and too much). Geffner did have some nice home run/gamewinning hit moments, though.

The Red Sox radio team will now be Joe Castiglione and a full-time Dave O'Brien.
